Adding this to my recent knowledge pearl from Dr. Ben Abo @benabo - that giraffes don’t vomit. #NewsYouCanUse
1/2 OXYGEN DISSOCIATION CURVE What does it mean to shift to the left? 1. Higher affinity for oxygen 2. Less oxygen unloading in tissue 3. Lower P50

So proud of our #EmergencyServices colleagues who are supporting rescue efforts in Turkey and Syria. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this devastating earthquake 💚 #TurkeySyriaEarthquake – at Walthamstow, London
This is the incredible moment our @UKISAR team helped reunite a mother & daughter four days after the #TurkeyEarthquake struck. Filmed yesterday in the centre of Hatay in #Turkey, it shows our firefighter, @DomMabbett from #Edmonton fire station help the woman to freedom.

Bystander CPR can double or triple the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest, but less than 1/3 of SCA patients receive CPR before first responders arrive. Thank you to @HamlinIsland & @American_Heart for spreading the word. abcn.ws/3jlmdeC #CPRwithHeart #HeartMonth

But is hyperoxia actually dangerous? Because if not, the threshold is moot. #NAEMSP2023

Replying to @JenBoileau
@JenBoileau when @benabo asked if anyone had a program like this in their agency I was proud to be able to raise my hand about all the great work you are doing with our #HOW program.
.@benabo talking about mindfulness. Helps with SO MANY things; goal is to focus on the present and be fully aware of surroundings, self, thoughts, feelings. #NAEMSP2023

Good Morning! We are aware that attendees at #NAEMSP2023 confuse @PEMEMS with @NicholeBosson, so we asked these two great sports to identify themselves 😉 Have a great day everyone! #justkidding

.@benabo finished with the reminder that even Superman has to deal with kryptonite. I’ll remind everyone that Superman and Wonderwoman (and is there an enby superhero? ) don’t actually exist in real life, and we are all, in fact, human. #naemsp2023
